So, the 155 title is essentially locked up for ~7 months?

[tgray7]

Tell me I'm mistaken here, fellas.

 

[zbelt]

Yup. Gotta protect da,goods

 

[Gigaton Punch]

Pettis wasn't gonna fight anytime soon anyway with the knee surgery and all. No Pettis until December sucks but unfortunately, this seems to be par the course with him

 

[bat_country]

Same way the WW title was locked up when Dana wanted GSP on TUF.
It's why I generally hate champs as coaches.

 

[clear31]

pettis will get hurt during filming and we get ben henderson vs gilbert II

 

[tgray7]

Between the Sherk steroid scandal, Frankie having to constantly rematch people, and Pettis being injured perennially, and now this 7-9 month wait for a title match, 155 is a cursed/fucked division.

BJ was like the only good memory of the damn belt.

Sherk is actually the only roid scandal I believe the fighter.

 

[JonesBones]

Can't believe they're still holding up such relevant fights with this stuff. Chael-Silva is one thing.

Sherk is actually the only roid scandal I believe the fighter.

I believe in Sherk too, because he's a stand up guy and really pushed to prove his innocence, but none the less the damage was done. Funnier even so because Franca pissed hot too.

 

[Jblizzle]

As you all have seen Knee injuries are no joke so let Pettis heal

 

[EazyEismydad]

More like 10

 

[VIP1349]

Yeah if the BJ/Frankie TUF isn't even starting until April, this shit probably doesn't get done until November/December.

Can hate on my boy Bendo all you want, but he was fighting back to back quickly every single time.

Yea, contenders or legends as coaches is better.
But Pettis wouldn't be ready to fight again until at least late summer anyway. So it's just a few more months to wait, not a big deal.

I don't think it will happen, but I would love to see Rogerio vs Shogun as TUF coaches before they both call it quits.

Might sound heartless of me and no disrespect to Pettis, but if you're going to train hard, hurt yourself accidentally, etc. Please opt to drop the title and get an immediate title shot when you're finally healthy. The division needs to move on, just like in every sport.

 

[specter1001]

Pettis better start getting busy by next year if he's still the champ..

 

[Steve08]

Yes.

It's bull.

 

[tgray7]

To be fair, nobody trained conditioning as hard as that man. Sherk is also 5'6'' and it's easier to look like a monster when you're muscular at that height.

 

[ThinkBig500]

More like a year.

Right? Cheers bud.
